Mammalian community characteristics on surface mine lands in Pennsylvania

Mammalian communities were studied on 10 surface mines over a four year period. The size and composition of these communities varied among the different areas. The size, composition, and spatial distribution of these mammalian communities were related to the structure of the plant community, and native plant species were of greater importance in determining size and composition of these communities than were those used in reclamation.     

Determining Ecological Equivalence in Service-to-Service Scaling of Salt Marsh Restoration

The amount of ecological restoration required to mitigate or compensate for environmental injury or habitat loss is often based on the goal of achieving ecological equivalence. However, few tools are available for estimating the extent of restoration required to achieve habitat services equivalent to those that were lost. This paper describes habitat equivalency analysis (HEA), a habitat-based “service-to-service” approach for determining the amount of restoration needed to compensate for natural resource losses, and examines issues in its application in the case of salt marsh restoration. The scientific literature indicates that although structural attributes such as vegetation may recover within a few years, there is often a significant lag in the development of ecological processes such as nutrient cycling that are necessary for a fully functioning salt marsh. Moreover, natural variation can make recovery trajectories difficult to define and predict for many habitat services. HEA is an excellent tool for scaling restoration actions because it reflects this ecological variability and complexity. At the same time, practitioners must recognize that conclusions about the amount of restoration needed to provide ecological services equivalent to those that are lost will depend critically on the ecological data and assumptions that are used in the HEA calculation.     

The role of population projections in environmental management

California and other regions in the United States are becoming more populated and ethnically diverse, and thus, ecological impacts on the wildland–urban interface are a significant policy concern. In a socioeconomic assessment focused on the geographic regions surrounding four national forests in southern California, population projections are being formulated to assist in the update of forest plans. In southern California, the projected trend of explosive population growth combined with increased ethnic and racial diversity indicates four challenges for environmental management. First, patterns of recreation use on wildlands are likely to change, and management of these areas will have to address new needs. Second, as land-management agencies face changing constituencies, new methods of soliciting public involvement from ethnic and racial groups will be necessary. Third, growth in the region is likely to encroach upon wildland areas, affecting water, air, open space, and endangered species. Fourth, in order to address all these concerns in a climate of declining budgets, resource management agencies need to strengthen collaborative relationships with other agencies in the region. How environmental managers approach these changes has widespread implications for the ecological sustainability of forests in southern California.     

区域自然灾害系统基本单元研究-Ⅱ:应用部分——湖南省综合农业灾情区域分异规律

本文应用灾害系统基本单元理论,以湖南省农业自然灾害为例,在地理信息系统支持下,将湖南省农业自然灾害系统划分为３２５２４个基本单元。进而,以民政部１９７８～１９９３年农业灾情统计数据为标准,通过多因子逐步回归的方法,建立了反映湖南省多年平均状况的五种主要农业灾害灾情模型。最后,以灾害基本单元为最小空间分异单位,对综合农业灾情分异规律进行了探讨,并首次提出了基于自然单元的湖南省综合农业灾情的分异规律首先是受地势控制的东西分异的主要结论。     

自然灾害综合灾情分级模型及应用

根据对自然灾害灾情的调研，提出了自然灾害综合灾情分级的指标体系和单指标分级标准，然后应用灰色聚类方法建立了自然灾害综合灾情分级模型，并探讨了该模型在评估1993年中国沿海地区台风、暴雨灾害灾情中的应用。     

太湖流域洪涝的激发机制和减灾策略探讨

太湖流域洪涝灾害的形成包括自然和人为两方面的机制。自然机制有：①年降雨量较大，且降雨时空分布不均，暴雨强度大；②地势周高中低，平原海拔低，河流比降小。人为机制有：①围垦缩小了流域蓄水面积；②地下水开采和高层建筑造成地面沉降；③土地非农业化使地表可渗透性面积减少。并提出洪涝威胁的发展趋势及减灾对策。     

山西省自然灾害的区域经济评价

以区域经济学为基础，灾害学为主导，应用层次分析原理，分析了山西省自然灾害对区域经济发展的影响，评价了不同区域的灾害严重程度及主要灾种，将全省划分为五大灾害经济区，为区域生产力布局提供了一些科学理论依据．     

灾害等级的灰色聚类分析

灰色聚类分析是灾害等级研究的一种简单易行的方法。本文利用灰色聚类分析的原理和方法来确定灾害的等级归属问题，避免了人为判断中的主观任意性，从而使等级归属问题由定性判断推进到定量计算     

近五年中国自然灾害空间分布格局及其月动态变化研究

作者根据《中国减灾》所载１９９０～１９９４年月灾情记录，经统一编码和标准化处理，建立了以行政县为基本单元的数据库。进而对近五年来中国自然灾害空间分布及其月动态变化进行分析，并与１９４９～１９９０年中国自然灾害的平均状况进行对比。
